“Cast Aside The Clouds (@castasidetheclouds) is a feature film a few friends and I helped bring to life. It’s an attempt to shed light on the quiet resilience and lived reality of so many who have endured persecution under the Islamic Republic in Iran.
Prejudice drew the line. Their love crossed it.
#CastAsidetheClouds premieres in New York on May 18, followed by theatrical runs in New York and Los Angeles.
I hope to see you in New York City and Los Angeles!
Get tickets to the premiere now at castasidetheclouds.com “

Rain or shine, your support means a great deal to us as we continue to highlight and celebrate the richness of Iranian culture.
This year’s parade held special significance, as it was dedicated to honoring our compatriots who lost their lives under a brutal regime while striving for fundamental human rights. We remember them with respect and solidarity.
We also extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event possible.
Thank you all.”

Federal authorities arrested Shamim Mafi, a 44-yea Federal authorities arrested Shamim Mafi, a 44-year-old Iranian citizen residing in Woodland Hills, California, at LAX on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Mafi, a legal U.S. resident, is accused of violating federal sanctions by acting as a middleman for Iranian weapons sales.

  The Allegations

Prosecutors claim Mafi utilized a business based in Oman to orchestrate massive arms deals between Iran and Sudan. The scale of the alleged operation includes:
• Drones & Explosives: Brokering more than $70 million in armed Iranian drones and tens of thousands of bomb fuses.
• Ammunition: Facilitating the sale of millions of rounds of ammunition.
• Target Market: The weaponry was reportedly sold to the Sudanese military, which has been embroiled in a violent civil war since 2023.

  Intelligence Links and Lifestyle

Beyond the trade of hardware, court filings suggest a deeper level of involvement, alleging that Mafi maintained direct communication with Iranian intelligence officials for approximately 30 months.
While allegedly managing these high-stakes international arms deals, Mafi maintained a high-profile lifestyle in Southern California. Investigators noted she frequently showcased her wealth on social media, including posts featuring a luxury vehicle valued in the six figures.

  Legal Consequences

If found guilty of these federal charges, Mafi faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.

LONDON, April 19 (Reuters) – British police said they are investigating possible Iran links to a series of arson attacks on Jewish targets in London, which the UK chief rabbi said showed a sustained campaign of violence against the Jewish community was gathering momentum.

After the latest attack, at Kenton United Synagogue in the Harrow area of the city shortly after midnight, the third such incident in a week, UK counter-terrorism police said they were heading up investigations into the incidents.

A pro-Iranian government group, which says it is also behind a spate of attacks across Europe on U.S., Israeli and Jewish targets, has said it was responsible.

“As the conflict in the Middle East continues to evolve, counter-terrorism policing and our partners remain alive to the threat of Iranian hostile activity in the UK,” Vicki Evans, Britain’s senior national coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, told reporters.

“We are aware of public reporting that suggests this group may have links to Iran. As you would expect, we will continue to explore that question as our investigation evolves.”
